Marker for the site of house erected by
Governor John Winthrop (1588-1649) (Wikipedia) about 1634 and occupied for a time previous to 1647 by his son
Deane who established on the nearby hill a ship signaling station by hoisting a
bush to the top of a pole.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony Tercentenary Commission erected markers around the
Commonwealth in 1930. These signs all have 1630 - 1930 and the state shield at
the top. The Deane Winthrop House also has one.
